To promote environmental conservation activities, Canon thinks it essential that the following four frameworks function effectively, and satisfying these requirements is the condition to start business with us.
A: Environmental management system for business activities
A company must construct and operate a system to reduce environmental impact caused by its business activities.
B: Performance of business activities
As the result of constructing and operating an environmental management system, the following must be achieved: compliance with laws and regulations, no use of the prohibited substances, reduction in the use of substances targeted for reduced levels of use, and implementation of preventive measures against pollution of soil and groundwater.
C: Management of chemical substances in products (environmental management system for parts and materials)
A system must be constructed and operated to keep track of and manage chemical substances contained in parts and materials delivered to Canon.
D: Performance of parts and materials
No "prohibited substances" are contained in parts and materials delivered to Canon, and no "use-restricted substances" are contained after a specified period.
Canon purchases preferentially environment-friendly products and service.
